Payton has done a good job telling Stidham not to randomly throw the ball straight up in the air for no reason and not to throw 5 feet behind his receivers.
The collapse has begun and will continue now that the Pats have drawn blood. Stidham is in an impossible situation. That doesn't excuse his CJ impression that just tied the game.
They might still be up 10-0 if they had, which would have them in a very strong position to win right now.
I feel like you HAD to take those points with a backup QB and everything going right for you at that point. Now conditions have deteriorated and anything can happen...
